between the shadows and the soul - cellar, gryffen

[Gryffen]

His ears prick forward at the mention of a poison dart frog. He reconsiders Cellar with less aggravation. Unlike the sheltered bitch before him, he had gotten to know most of Beqanna’s lands including the jungle his pretty little half-sister once ruled. Rumor said she had come back also, both of them unable to keep from crawling back to what they knew best. “I like useful things, the packaging is irrelevant.” He murmurs quietly to his painted Queen. Thinking about it now, it was rather funny that he had never referred to her as the power behind the Chamber nor had been introduced to her as such. And yet he knew without a doubt that she ran this place from day one. It was the way she held herself, you just knew. In Straia was a kindred spirit, they just went about the business aspect a little differently. There is an obvious change in the wraith when Cellar goes into detail about her affliction. His eyes seem to darken from ruby to blood red.  A slow smirk spreads on his lips, you can practically see him rubbing his hands with glee. ”Is that so?” He asks aloud, mostly to himself instead of their benefit. For the cogs are already turning with ideas. This lethal weapon just laid before him and Straia was giving him full permission to use her at will. ”Cellar is it? I’ve got just the thing in mind for you..” He’s unaware of the girls past and the way she has been played for another’s amusement. Knowing she has already been primed to be out of control would have only been the cherry on top. Since he doesn’t know this, it’s time to test out the theory. Just how willing was she to serve for another? He steps closer to her, taking in her scales carefully but keeping a safe enough distance. ”How do you know you can do this? Better yet….Can you show me?” His voice is now tinged with curiosity, excitement. It wouldn’t be worth his time to buy the damn thing without giving it a good test drive first. He doesn't wait for her response, instead he gives her one last lingering look before glancing at Straia. "Wait here." He could rustle up a test subject in a jiffy.
